It's big, but we have to deliver. We can sit third now and be 10th after next weekend. So, we have to keep the momentum up and we have to perform. |
It's clear that Jarrett's actions were intentional, ... Just look on my rear bumper — it's obvious that is UPS brown paint. Just as in the criminal world, Jarrett's intent makes him fully culpable for his actions. Lucky for him, I'm still battling for a spot in the Chase. Otherwise, he could expect a damaged car and/or a damaged face. |
It's going to be important to get a win, ... but it's going to be more important not to get any DNFs as we saw last year. We'll see if we can accomplish that, too. |
It's just disappointing. I think a lot of Jimmie Johnson and his talent ... but I'm pretty sure that three of his past four wins have had conflict with the cars being illegal. It's not necessarily good for the sport. |
It's just disappointing. I'm pretty sure three out of [Johnson's] last four wins have come with the cars being illegal. I think the point should be driven home that if we have repeat offenders or a situation happens time and time again with a certain individual, something more should be done other than a suspension. |
It's not good for the sport. It's not good for any of us to have that question mark out there. |
It's not necessarily good for the sport. |
It's the first time NASCAR could pull away a victory. I'm pretty sure three of that team's last four wins have involved a conflict about the car being illegal. That's not good for the sport. |
It's unfortunate, because we need to be at least equal to what the competitors are. We're definitely not equal. I don't want to make anybody mad, but when you feel you have a crooked arrow and somebody's telling you to shoot straight, it's really difficult. |
Jamie's misfortune was our fortune tonight. |
Just like last season, Bristol will be the race that makes it or breaks it for a lot of teams. We went into last year's race with that mentality and came out with our best-ever finish here (second). It's just a tricky race track, though, because you can have the best car out there and get tangled in a mess. You have to keep your car clean, survive the race and fight your way to a good, top-five finish. |
Kurt proved last year that winning the championship is all about consistency, so that's what we're aiming for in the next 10 weeks, ... A few wins can't hurt, though, and that's what we'll be aiming for this weekend. |
Last year in this race, we had a great race car, |
Like I said, I'm better off having a teammate that doesn't even talk to me or does anything than one that works against me, and that's what I've had to deal with the last five years. |
Luckily, my head is big enough and thick enough it'd be hard to break in, ... I'm happy those guys are going at each other like that. That's cool. |
